Description
The definitive story of the war between President Trump and America's principal law enforcement agencies, answering the questions that the Mueller report couldn't - or wouldn't. Deep State goes beyond the limits of the legally constrained Mueller report, showing how the president's obsession with the idea of a conspiracy against him is still upending lives and sending shockwaves through both the FBI and the Department of Justice. In this world-historical struggle - Trump versus intelligence agencies - Stewart shows us in rare style what's real and what matters now.
Reviews / Votes
"One of the best reporters of his generation . . . a gifted storyteller and thorough reporter." -New York Review of Books"A first draft of history that reminds us just how bizarre these times really are. A New York Times columnist and Pulitzer Prize-winning investigative reporter, Stewart has assembled a gripping blow-by-blow account of President Trump's years-long showdown with the FBI - from the first inklings of something about an email server through the release of special counsel Robert S. Mueller III's report on Russia's interference in the 2016 presidential election . . . Encountering it all smashed between the pages of a single book is a new experience, less the stop-start jerkiness of a tweetstorm than the slow-build dread of a dramatic tragedy . . . . The events recounted in 'Deep State' help explain how we ended up at our latest impasse and how Trump is likely to react as it unfolds. What makes the book more than a recitation of unseemly facts is its well-rendered human drama." - The Washington Post
